This is the city of dreamers and time and again it's the place where the greatest dream of all the American dream has been tested and has triumphed.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

But I can only take so much TV because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet how to live your life how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls.

The design of those commissioners frigates and warlike force is directed rather against Long Island and these your Honors' possessions than to the imagined reform of New England.

I don't design cars. I'm not a designer. I know what I desire to be built I know what the end result is the horsepower the competition we'll be working against - but I leave it to the people who work with me to put it all together. I don't do anything.

Wherever there is a design that is highly successful in a broad range of similar environments it is apt to emerge again and again independently - the phenomenon known in biology as convergent evolution. I call these designs 'good tricks.'

To nourish children and raise them against odds is in any time any place is more valuable than to fix bolts in cars or design nuclear weapons.

Marc Jacobs is full of creative people and Louis Vuitton is again a name on the door a name that has existed for many years but I'm a collaborator there and I bring in other people other artists and I work with a great creative design team.

My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.

After 1980 you never heard reference to space again. Surface the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism became the focus of design. Space disappeared.

If you think aficionados of a living Constitution want to bring you flexibility think again. You think the death penalty is a good idea? Persuade your fellow citizens to adopt it. You want a right to abortion? Persuade your fellow citizens and enact it. That's flexibility.

The die is set and Malcolm will not escape for the foolish talk he spoke against his benefactor such a man is worthy of death and it would have been so were it not for Muhammad's confidence that God would give him the victory over the enemies.

We all labor against our own cure for death is the cure of all diseases.

My father was against the death penalty and that was hard in the Son of Sam summer when fear was driving the desire for the death penalty.

We march and fight to death or on to victory. Our might is right no traitors shall prevail. Our hearts are steeled against the fiery gates of hell. No shot or shell can still our mighty song.

As the fly bangs against the window attempting freedom while the door stands open so we bang against death ignoring heaven.

The earth is rocky and full of roots it's clay and it seems doomed and polluted but you dig little holes for the ugly shriveled bulbs throw in a handful of poppy seeds and cover it all over and you know you'll never see it again - it's death and clay and shrivel and your hands are nicked from the rocks your nails black with soil.
